Blackmagic Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G with PSU
Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G
Blackmagicdesign’s Micro Converter SDI to HDMI 3G has been created specifically for professional monitoring and includes a 17 point 3D LUT for colour calibrating any monitor, projector or television. The 3D LUT can even be outputted through the SDI loop output. The Micro Converter also supports DCI formats and film rates including 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48.
The World’s Smallest USB
powered broadcast converters!
The new Blackmagic Micro Converter 3G models are incredibly tiny broadcast video converters that let you connect between consumer HDMI and professional SDI equipment. The rugged and miniaturized design makes them small enough to be used anywhere! You get professional 3G-SDI connections for working with all SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. Micro Converters use USB for power, so they can be powered directly from televisions or laptop computers. You can even purchase them without power supplies if they are not needed! Only Blackmagic Micro Converters feature custom designed electronics that conform to current global broadcast specifications, and can be updated to new standards in the future
Use Anywhere
Blackmagic Micro Converters are so small you can use them anywhere! That means it’s always easy to keep a few available for any urgent conversion task! Because they are extremely high quality, you can trust them for all kinds of broadcast, live production and on set use. Use them for turning any computer display, television or video projector into high quality colour calibrated broadcast monitoring. They're also perfect for converting the HDMI outputs of computers and consumer video cameras to high end SDI equipment. Imagine using a slide show running on a computer for high end broadcast quality titles in live production! You could even use them for extending long HDMI distances using SDI.
Miniaturised Design
Unlike other small SDI converters, Blackmagic Micro Converters feature the highest quality broadcast technology, miniaturised into an incredibly strong metal enclosure. Each converter has industrial standard 3G-SDI and HDMI connections with strong high quality connectors. Blackmagic Micro Converters include a USB connection for power, as well as changing settings via the converter utility on Mac and Windows. Because the USB powers the converter, you can even power it from televisions or laptop computers. There are even LEDs for power and video status. You can also buy Blackmagic Micro Converters with an AC power supply including 4 adapters for international use
Big converter quality, miniaturized
Unlike cheap converters, Blackmagic Micro Converters include the highest quality signal processing and deep bit depth video pipeline. Micro Converters have been engineered with precision electronics so you get very low SDI jitter, allowing you to extend SDI cables over long distances. That’s vital for live production where equipment such as cameras can be a long distance from switchers. Blackmagic Micro Converters work with both 8 and 10-bit video formats, in RGB or YUV, and in all SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. They even support 1080p24, 1080p47.95 and 1080p48 film rates! Plus you get fully embedded audio and timecode support.
Update and Change Settings!
You can also change settings and update the converter software with the free converter utility that can be downloaded from the Blackmagic Design web site. This software connects to the USB connection on the Micro Converters and runs on both Mac and Windows computers. You can use the utility to change the converter name, which can be useful for identifying which converter is used for which task! When using the bidirectional converter, you can even set the camera number, so the converter knows when it’s being controlled from a live production switcher. You can also select between level A and level B on the 3G-SDI video output.
